So how Scott Sinclair should he be sold as well? Or is it just the double standards for the welsh players? Maybe we shouldn't take on Caulker if the opportunity arises because he played for teamGB? And its a good job you don't run the club as you won't be very good at running it clearly, players go on international duty for Wales and other countries sometimes, perhaps they should be sold ?
Its a hell of an honour for these players, it increases their profile, if they do well that can only be a good thing for our club as they will command a greater fee should they move on. You really are not getting the concept here, its about the players, they have a right to represent their country, its probably even in the contract they have.
As for my summer itinerary, I go to Florida in 3 days time with the family, when I come back I am spending a week in Slough and going to a couple of games, then a few events I have managed to gain tickets for. And yes I will be watching the games in my employers time, that is the great thing about the company I work for, they have allowed us to stream the games to the company mobiles if we get time to watch any events when I return to work
What is the name of this company who is fine with you watching footie on your mobile instead of concentrating on work? I've just got to know
I've been advocating the sale of Scott Sinclair for a couple of months now, ever since he stalled on the contract (and yes he is disloyal. His career was going down the pan when he signed for us. Stuck in Chelsea reserves, a couple of loans where he failed to shine. We signed him, paid him well and played him every week. 2 years later he wants to **** on us and would rather try and sell himself to the highest bidder at the Olympics than turn up for work. He'll be gone by the end of the summer. Goodbye and good riddance.)
Believe it or not it would be much harder for me to say goodbye to the Welsh boys but the same professional standards should apply.
Why do you
keep repeating the Internationals equate to the Olympics argument? I told you, International football brings money into the game as a whole and is
scheduled to fit in with European club football. It may have escaped your notice but FIFA don't hold the World Cup on the eve of the start of the season. This is because FIFA has the interests of football at heart, which means the preservation and fostering of the professional club sides.
It's all about selling tickets at the end of the day, something the Olympics is failing to do in a football mad country....says it all.
As regards the players
rights....
Their country, as regards football, is Wales. Nobody has a problem with them representing their country.
As Mabon points out, the very act of representing Great Britain (the nation state they are citizens of), calls into question the legitimacy of the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish football associations as the situation here in the UK is an anomaly and not popular internationally...the status quo is not popular within FIFA.
It is you who is not getting the concept. These players do not have the
right to jeopardise the position of the Welsh football team or Swansea's position within the English league structure.
There are a lot of people who have a legitimate interest in the outcome of their decision. Were you consulted? I wasn't.
Did I say
you never answered his question? I think it's you who need to re-read.
Because you and Ryan Giggs no longer give 2 ****s about the Welsh International football team doesn't mean everyone else has given up....what about future generations?
"it's about the players not us and our opinions"
It will be about us if a few years from now I can't take my son to watch Wales play football but am instead reduced to hoping a Welshman gets picked for GB, and it certainly is about the interests of Swansea City.
As we are all fans this is a legitimate debate.
and they must be american welsh
